Title: Passive monitoring of virtual systems without using agents executing within virtual servers
Inventor: AMMONS GLENN
IPC: G06F9/455
Filed: 2012-10-17
Abstract: The invention provides a solution for passively monitoring a computer system. In an embodiment, a virtual server 330 is accessed by an indexing agent 342 that is contained in an indexing appliance 340. The virtual server is located on a physical server 310 and is one of a plurality of virtual system instances on a common physical server. The indexing appliance is separate from the virtual server and, as such, the indexing agent is not executed within the virtual server, itself. The indexing agent retrieves a virtual image 332 of the virtual server which may include instructing a virtualization hypervisor (232) of the virtual server to perform a checkpoint operation or snapshot of the virtual image. The indexing agent indexes the virtual image to extract features 334 indicative of changes in the virtual server. These features are analyzed to perform passive monitoring of the virtual server. Since the indexing appliance is separate from the virtual server for which passive monitoring is being performed, the indexing agent can perform the retrieving and the indexing without utilizing agents executing within the virtual server.

IPC: G08G1/16
Filed: 2013-03-26
Abstract: A motor vehicle lateral collision avoidance system where the position of a vehicle 100 within its own lane is monitored by means of a camera system 150 that detects lane markings and the adjacent lane is monitored for a possible collision hazard from another vehicle by means of front 130F and rear 130R radar sensors. The drivers intention to make a lane change manoeuvre is detected by monitoring turn indicators and steering wheel input and if a collision hazard with an object in the adjacent lane is then detected, feedback is provided to warn the driver and discourage further movement into the adjacent lane. The warning may be audio, visual, the application of a force or torque applied to the steering wheel in a direction opposing the movement into the adjacent lane, or a reduction of the amount of torque assist in the direction of the lane change.

Title: Projecting maintenance history using optical reference points
Inventor: GEORGESON NATHANAEL T
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2013-07-12
Abstract: Displaying location specific maintenance history 88 for an object, such as an aircraft, is implemented by operating a camera to locate at least one marker tag or fiducial 84a-c on the object to provide a reference to a coordinate system associated with the object. An area 23 of the object surrounding the coordinates defined by marker tag is determined from the coordinate system. A repair history for the determined area is then projected onto the object with the projection referenced to the coordinate system associated with the object. The markers may be QR code (RTM) patterns. The perspective of the projection may be corrected for projecting onto the object. The repair history can include a data block for repair description and repair location and extent. The system provides augmented reality enabled mobile maintenance tracking.

Title: A Pixel
Inventor: STORM GRAEME
IPC: H04N5/335
Filed: 2013-08-09
Abstract: A pixel arrangement and method of use, comprising a photodiode 12, a reset transistor 18 controlled by a reset input voltage RST, a transfer gate transistor 14 controlled by a transfer gate voltage TG, configured to transfer charge from the photodiode to a charge transfer node (SN) 22 when in use and a source follower transistor 16 controlled by the node voltage and coupled to a source follower voltage when in use. During a read operation, at least one indentified voltage is increased, the identified voltage being a reset input voltage, source follower voltage, transfer gate voltage or transfer charge node voltage. Further a read transistor 20 may be included, controlled during reading by a read voltage set to a read value, which may have a time period exceeding the period during which the identified voltage is increased. Preferably, during the read operation, the transfer gate voltage signal is changed from a lower first voltage level to an intermediate voltage level and then from the intermediate voltage to a second higher voltage. The reverse may also occur, for example, second, intermediate first voltage sequence. The reset signal may be pulsed at the beginning of the read operation and at the same time as the read voltage is set to the read value. A capacitor 32 coupled to the charge transfer node may be configured to increase the voltage on the node during a read.

Title: Methods and systems for analyzing financial dataset
Inventor: BHATTACHARYA SAKYAJIT
IPC: G06Q40/02
Filed: 2015-02-11
Abstract: The dataset is mined from financial statements 202 and processed to produce a best model from which an individual customers financial risk category can be determined. A user inputs a range of numbers 204 corresponding to the probable number of clusters in the dataset 206-210 and an expectation maximisation (EM) algorithm e.g. a Gaussian copula mixture model (GCMM) is used to generate models 212-216 for each number 204a-204c in the range. For each model an initial parameter is estimated e.g. using a mixing proportion, a mean distribution, Gaussian copula mixture, covariance between clusters, a random estimate or an estimate using a k-means clustering algorithm. A threshold is defined based on the parameter and an inverse cumulative distribution and likelihood that the parameters are deterministic of the GCMM are calculated and the parameters and likelihoods are iteratively updated (106-116, Figure 1) until the current and previous likelihoods are below a threshold. Bayesian information criteria (BIC) scores are calculated for each model 208 and the best model is selected 214 and used to cluster the data 220.
